These look great, however I'm not really interested in any of the announced characters.

Good luck and I hope the line does well. I'll certainly support it when other characters come along.

I really like how Cap came out, IMO the way he is stylized actually feels like modern comicbook artwork, I can totally visualize the HX Cap inside a comicbook today. The other characters though feel more like something from a cartoon show, maybe just a little too exaggerated imo. I know this line is meant to be toony, but modern comic style still fits really well for that purpose (think Hellboy for an extreme example) and I really hope the rest of the line stick to more of that Cap style rather than the TV cartoon look.


Just a quick comparison below, the Cap statue looks like he jumped right out of the comics, where as the Thor and Loki might be a little too stylized for that imo, I hope this image below is closer to what this line will eventually look like once we get the characters rolling, I'm personally looking forward to this line.

Also on another note, IMO keeping it industry standard at Bowen/Koto scale could help collectors get into the line easier, which is technically closer to 1/7 even though on paper it says 1/6. It's the little things that make or break the line, Koto started off as true 1/6 but eventually realized they are oversized and started producing in 1/7, better to get it right the first time.

Please can you let me know the distributor in Europe please?

Thank you for the input!
We agree on your points and we love the cap's styling as well. Be assured that all statues will be following a consistent styling so that they will all display well together or individually.

We will continue to refine the statues once the 3d printing is done by hand crafting them individually and adding back all the details that is lost during the 3d printing process.

We will share more updates in the days to come


All the best
HXProject.

HMO,

What are the chances of non-Avengers characters?

Thanks
